Differentiating Parsers, by Oleg Kiselyov. “We describe
differentiation of parsers with respect to the input stream. We obtain
incremental parsers, which yield (fragments) of the parsed data as

the portion of input up to a previously noted checkpoint and resume
parsing supplying an alternative input.”
